What is it?

Supplementing with Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown to:

Help prevent weight gain
Decrease abdominal fat
Increase metabolic rate
Enhance muscle growth
Promote cardiovascular health
Enhance immune function
The weight loss mechanisms of CLA are still being explored. Proposed mechanisms include decreased food intake, increased energy expenditure, decreased pre-fat cell development, blocking of fat cell proliferation and increased fat burning (lipolysis).

The body fat-reducing properties of CLA have been tested in numerous human clinical trials Scandinavian human weight loss trials conducted over the past eight years have recorded significant body fat loss with doses ranging from 1.8 grams to 4 grams of CLA per day.

The most recent (2007) CLA weight loss study was conducted at the University of Wisconsin, where research into CLA first began. In a 6 month study to prevent holiday weight gain, 3.2 grams of CLA was given to volunteers for 6 months. Body weight was measured during the pre-holiday season and post-holiday season. A six month change in body composition was improved with CLA compared to placebo and the study concluded that CLA supplementation among overweight adults significantly reduced body fat over 6 months and prevented weight gain during the holiday season. CLA did not affect insulin resistance, blood lipids or markers of liver function. The overwhelming conclusion of a huge variety of clinical trials around the world proves that CLA works to reduce body fat and favorably changes the ratio of body fat-to-muscle ratio.
